these are all very well built planes, but they also cost me a lot more money.
Come on now,
a lot more money? What do you consider 'a lot more' and are you available to count votes in the US elections so one candidate can state he won by a lot more vote than the other?

Consider what was your total for equivalent all up models using each company and what percentage of that was the ARF cost? Come to think of it they would never be equivalent...
